Slowing our steps in the forest

Walking along, a community together
slowing our steps, the forest before us
spending time, lingering there
Open to what the creator will show us
gifts of this moment to share
Entering in, deeper and deeper
the pond and its treasure made known
An expanse of water, the reeds and the rushes
the artistry of our maker’s brush
Trees and moss, the ferns and the oak leaves
the crunch of the branches, the rocks underfoot
Sharing the day, the time and the fellowship
slowing our walk, in union with you
